Reddit mentions of The Walking Dead: The Road to Woodbury

IMHO The book is great. It's a really nice addition, and I think it doesn't matter how much of the TV show you've watched, or the comic books you've read.

I mean, as long as you're aware that The Governor is a character, there isn't really any spoilers. It's just his backstory.

After reading for around 30 minutes - 1 hour (depending on reading skill of course haha) You'll realise how brilliantly Robert Kirkman can describe zombies getting punished in various ways, with excellent attention to detail describing noises, and specific parts of the body taking damage from a fight.

Also, Jay Bonansinga (a very excellent thriller writer) Collaborated on this book, helping out with the action scenes and sharing credit for what I think is a great book, with lots of nods of the head to other characters/events in TWD Universe.

I might also add, my girlfriend read this, having previously seen only a few clips from the show and reading none of the comics, and she thoroughly enjoyed it as well.

If you enjoy it, there's a sequel coming very soon as well! -

Tl;DR - The Book is 3/5 In my opinion, fun for existing or new fans.

Book 8 comes out next month. And you might want to look at the actual books: ONE, TWO
